“…In the present study, we used MLD maneuvers with a minimum pressure on the skin, in order to check if the parasympathetic effect is really achieved [42]. It agrees with Kim [22], as being an effective technique in reducing the activity of the sympathetic nervous system in healthy participants and suggests that it could help to reduce physiological stress and improve autonomic function by increasing parasympathetic activity [22,43]. This explanation would also justify the statistically significative diminution in respiratory rate observed in Godoy's group; the fact that a control and placebo group were performed discard any possibility of obtaining changes due to the lain position or patient relaxation.…”

The aim of this study is to describe the short-term effects of manual lymph drainage (MLD) isolated in supraclavicular area in healthy subjects. A 4-week cross-sectional, double-blinded randomized clinical trial was conducted. Participants: 24 healthy participants between 18 and 30 years old were recruited from Universidad Europea de Madrid from December 2018 to September 2019. A total of four groups were studied: control, placebo, Vodder, and Godoy. The order of the interventions was randomized. Resting Heart Rate and Oxygen Saturation, blood pressure, pressure pain threshold of trapezius muscle, respiratory rate, range of active cervical movements were measured before and after every intervention. All the participants fulfilled four different interventions with a one-week-wash-out period. No statistically significant differences were found between groups in descriptive data; neither in saturation of oxygen, diastolic blood pressure and cervical range of motion. Significant differences were found in favor of Vodder (p = 0.026) in heart rate diminution and in cardiac-rate-reduction. A significant difference in respiratory rate diminution is found in favor of the Godoy group in comparison with the control group (p = 0.020). A significant difference is found in favor of the Godoy group in systolic blood pressure decrease (p = 0.015) even in pressure pain threshold (p < 0.05). MLD decreases systolic blood pressure in healthy participants. However, it does not produce any changes in other physiologic outcomes maintaining physiologic values, which may suggest the safety of the technique in patients suffering from other pathologies.

“…Bender et al, (2019) in which they mentioned that soft tissue manipulation is not preferable to rest in fatigue recovery and performance [10,30]. The contradiction between the conclusions of this research and the aforementioned research may stem from a difference in the methodology of the research.…”

“…However, soft tissue manipulation could significantly improve the perceived recovery [15]. Also Urio Bender et al, (2019) showed that Soft tissue manipulation therapy slightly decreased pain intensity after habitual running, but had no effect on fatigue [10]. Roberstone et al (2004) did a survey on 9 healthy male athletes and didn't find any difference in maximal power and mean power between soft tissue manipulation and passive rest [30].…”

“…The isokinetic dynamometer was not used in any of those studies to make and evaluate fatigue and the method of their evaluation was the repetition of sports activity. Furthermore Bender et al, (2019) suggest that contradiction between the studies about effect of soft tissue manipulation on fatigue is related to level of fatigue [10]. They believe that participants tolerated higher fatigue level in studies that show good effective of soft tissue manipulation therapy compared to Bender et al, study [10].…”

“…In spite of the fact that many studies have been shown the effectiveness of soft tissue manipulation , there is still a lot of controversy. For instance, some researchers believe that soft tissue manipulation can improve some physiologic indexes but doesn't have any effects on muscle performance after fatigue [10][11][12][13].…”

Background The aim of the study is comparison of the effects of soft tissue manipulation and rest on the knee extensor muscle fatigue after maximal isokinetic contractions. Methods Fifteen healthy females aged 20-30 years selected for research. This study implemented a semi-experimental test-retest measurement method. Each of the volunteers was evaluated three sessions. The first session was to familiarize the volunteers with the test and isokinetics. For the main test, each of the volunteers was evaluated twice with a one-week interval between evaluations. In each session, after warm-up, perceived fatigue using a visual analog scale (VAS), average of peak torque (APT), and average power (AP) for maximal concentric isokinetic output of the quadriceps was measured at a velocity of 60 degrees per second. Then¸ in order to apply the fatigue protocol, the subjects were asked to perform successive maximal quadriceps contractions until three consecutive quadriceps torque outputs reached below 50 percent maximal torque output. Afterwards, for remeasurement, the average of peak torque and average power were calculated. The extent of perceived fatigue was evaluated as before. Subjects then either rested or received soft tissue manipulation on the knee extensors for a 15-minute duration. After intervention (soft tissue manipulation or rest) parameters were evaluated for third time. Results The stability of average peak torque¸ average power, and visual analog scale before performing fatigue protocol was 85%, 83%, and 31.9%, respectively. The stability after fatigue was 43%, 50%, and 93%, respectively. After maximal fatigue and a decrease in torque output to below 50 percent maximal torque, 15 minutes of soft tissue manipulation could change the APT after fatigue from a mean of 58.3 (nm) to 91.5 (nm), the AP from 39.4 to 63.6 (nm/s), and the VAS from 90.0 to 12 (mm). But 15 minutes of rest could change the APT from 52.5 to 68.1 (nm), the AP from 37.6 to 48 (nm/s) and the VAS from 90.0 to 27.3 (mm). Conclusion The study showed that soft tissue manipulation was more effective than rest as a strategy to return muscles to a normal state and caused more relief in perceived fatigue.
